“Rich, gooey and reminiscent of a chocolate fondant, hot chocolate is an indulgent affair in Italy, a far cry from the milky drink you find here in the UK. This is my nonna’s classic cioccolata calda recipe with panna (meaning ‘cream’), but I have made it totally vegan by using The Coconut Collaborative chocolate pots and a plant-based whipping cream” - Chef Roberta
Method:
-
Heat all the ingredients in a small pan over a low heat, stirring frequently until the chocolate pots have melted. Take care to keep the heat gentle or you will lose the delicate orange aroma.
-
Divide the hot chocolate between two cups (we recommend little espresso cups or small water glasses!) and then whip up The Coconut Collabs Double Cre&m to add on top.
-
To finish off, add a sprinkling of cocoa powder and serve with a cinnamon stick or star anise for a little spice. Enjoy!
